Bernie honestly reminds me of Ron Paul. An unlikable backbencher who only associates with a party out of necessity and isn’t effective at all at passing legislation but somehow convinces naive young people he’s a political prophet. So yeah tbh I am not having what Bernie is selling me. I’m not happy with Bloomberg either but I don’t see Bloomberg as a cult of personality.

Bloomberg is actually the exact opposite of a cult of personality. He’s just using his infinite supply of money to buy ads, favorable coverage, endorsement, etc.

It’s almost charming in its direct simplicity — ‘If a billionaire were to try to buy his way to the presidency, this is exactly what it would look like.’
